The 2012 Coles AFL School Ambassador of the Year Awards will be presented at Patersons Stadium in August to recognise teachers who have excelled in enhancing learning and promoting physical activity through AFL programs in WA schools during 2012.
This year recognition will also be given to Coles AFL School Ambassadors who exhibited best practice over 5 or more years.
The AFL School Ambassador (AFLSA) program was introduced into WA schools in 2004.
